I am sure this Lee Hughes saga has been done to death on here over the years. But, I will re-iterate my stance that I think that he has served his time and deserves to continue his career. If he signed for the Albion, I would have no problem supporting him, particularly if he banged in the goals to keep us up.
We need a goal scorer and Lee Hughes would fit the bill irrespective of what he has done in the past. If he scored a hatrick on his debut people would rightly forget his past and focus on his ability as a footballer. He has paid his price and should be forgiven you can never forget but you can forgive.
While we are at it could we bring in Kasper Schmiechel. Would have loved to have loaned Johnnie Jackson but too late it seems.
I think there would be a lot of opposition to his signing, but he would be fantastic for us. Not sure how I feel about it, we have some good strikers as it is, seems a bit of a waste of time for all the trouble that may be caused.
I couldn't stomach having a player that had needlessly wrecked the lives of a whole family. Not forgetting that he ran from the scene. He didn't attend to the injured people. He ran. He was thinking of himself and not the trapped and dying patrons of the other car.
He may well have served half his sentence, but that doesn't mean he should be forgiven for his actions.
